Hospo Worker

don’t work here unless you feel like going back to high school. The place has its cliques and if you’re not included it’s a very hostile environment to work in.

Management here sucks, you don’t get phraised for your work. You don’t have finish times so you could be working two hours or 10 hours, who knows? Often do dodges in regards to defying the rules of the RIA. Sending people home half an hour after their breaks, making me work over 5 hours after my break. I know my rights and refused to work over 5 hours after coming back from a break, management didn’t like that I rebutted that way.

I also have a physical disability and they’re solution so that I didn’t harm myself while working was to buy socks and put them on my arm for heat protection. Absolutely disgusting.

Will weasel and intimidate staff to avoid paying penalties.

Was not paying penalty rates when I started working there by being on EBA. Even after EBA terminated and moved to Award rates they tried to get around entitlements and avoid paying overtime by getting people to “mutually agree” to change rostered hours. Also would change rosters and mislead them to think public holidays didn’t need to be paid.

In some ways they’re better than other venues in that they are at least trying to keep to the “letter” of the Award, nonetheless they still try and find ways to get around the entitlements.
